FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Where are you located? What areas do you serve? We are based out of Oakland, California. The primary regions that we serve include the greater San Francisco Bay Area, Sonoma County, Napa County, Sacramento and Monterey. However, we are willing to travel throughout California, if scheduling allows.
What are your fees? Our packages are customized based on a variety of factors, including location, hours, number of guests, number of bartenders, and the services you are requesting. Please start by taking a look at the example packages on our Services page. Once you have an idea of the services you are looking for, please email us through our Contact page to discuss your custom package and quote.
Do you provide the alcohol? No, our packages do not include any alcohol. You will need to purchase the alcohol from a separate vendor (store, your caterer, your venue), which will then be mixed and served by our bartenders. However, all of the prep work leading up to your alcohol purchase will be done by us--we will help you to decide what you need to order, how much you need to order, and when/where it should arrive.
What types of events are you able to serve? We are able to serve at private events. This includes weddings, birthday parties, baby or bridal showers, corporate parties, fundraisers, etc. For public events, it is the responsiblity of the client to secure necessary permitting. Events must not be operating as a "cash bar", as we are unable to sell alcohol from our trailer.
I love the idea of fun custom cocktails! Can you help me choose? Yes! For packages that include craft cocktail service, our packages include customization of these cocktails just for you! We are glad to take your guidance, if you have a certain cocktail in mind, or we can mix up a handful of fun options for you to choose from during your consultation. We specialize in creating custom craft cocktails using fresh organic ingredients, infused syrups, etc. We pride ourselves in creating cocktails that are just as impressive as our vintage horse trailer bar!
I have no idea how much alcohol to order! Can you help with the decision making? Yes! Part of our service is to walk you through the process of planning all things beverage-related. We are glad to help you to decide on the amounts and types of alcohol, mixers, juices, etc. Our goal is to make this part of the party planning easy and fun!
What is the process to reserve a date? Once you have taken a look at the packages on our Services page, please email us through our Contact page. After discussing the details of your event (date, time, venue, number of guests, services desired, etc), we will send you a custom quote. A non-refundable deposit will be required in order to hold your date.
Can you serve beer out of kegs? Yes. The Whiskey Chaser is equipped with 2 taps that are linked to a kegerator. The kegerator can fit one half keg or two slim quarter kegs, while keeping them icy cold for the duration of your party. Additional kegs can be set on ice to keep them cold before they go into the kegerator.
Are you licensed and insured? Yes. The Whiskey Chaser is insured with General Liability Insurance as well as Alcohol Insurance policies and is licensed as a business.
Can the trailer be rented without the bartending service? Yes. The trailer can be rented out for filming, photo shoots, etc. Please contact us for a quote based upon your need.
